Easy Crochet Boot Cuffs for Ankle Boots Free Pattern

**

I bought these beautiful hand-made Italian riding boots a while back, but boy do they hurt my ankle when I wear them! I put them in my shoe closet and didn’t put them on for months, until I decided to do something about that!

I whipped up a quick cuff and it transformed these shoes! I can now wear them comfortably and I think the cuffs look really cute on them too.

I first tried them with worsted weight # 4 yarn, but felt that was too thick, so I tried again with DK and found that to be just perfect!

If you’d like to have a go at these boot cuffs, you can follow the free pattern below or purchase the PDF Printable version from my shops.

You can make the pattern larger or smaller by either: changing the yarn weight and/or hook size, adding or reducing the number of chains in multiples of 5.

• Numbers at the end of each row (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that row.

• Ch 1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
